Will Dez’s return cure ailing Cowboys offense?

The Cowboys offense was terrible Saturday night in the 23-7 loss at Houston.

So how will it be with a certain high profile rookie on the field?

There are plenty of signs pointing to first-round draft pick Dez Bryant making his debut Thursday night when the Cowboys host Miami in the preseason finale.

The latest came Monday night when Bryant (@DEZ_88) wrote on Twitter: “Back in action Thursday night!!!!!”

That post came roughly 24 hours after he ran routes at full speed before kickoff at Reliant Stadium, the best sign yet that his high right ankle sprain is fully healed.

So will the insertion of Bryant into the offense cure what’s been ailing it during the preseason?

It can’t hurt. Bryant’s speed and athleticism will no doubt stretch the defense and open things up underneath for the tight ends and running backs.

But what I think the Cowboys need most is a healthy offensive line. The running game has sputtered with the injury-riddled line providing few holes. And Tony Romo can’t scan the field with all the pass protection breakdowns.

Bottom line: Bryant will help, but what the offense could really use is the return of left guard Kyle Kosier (knee) and right tackle Marc Colombo (knee).
